I like to create a lesson plan tailored to the student, focused on their individual goals and help them enjoy learning their favourite music while progressing rapidly on the guitar.
I believe everyone should be able to experience the pleasure of playing a musical instrument. This is why I offer lessons to students of all ages and abilities. However I would recommend waiting until age 6 to begin playing the guitar.
Lessons are pay-as-you-go, weekly, fortnightly or as suits you.
Whether you are a complete beginner or already an experienced guitar player get in touch and start the journey of learning and improving your skills.
